Exhaust ive articles were printed in the Salem Slogan numbers of last year and the year before. A number of new facts are brought out this morning For instance, it is shown that Salem is becoming more and more the assembling, marketing and shipping center of the Oregon walnut industry; not only this, but it is becom ing the walnut growing center. One of the largest solid plantings in Oregon is in the Liberty district south of Salem. The oldest solid planting in the state is at Jefferson some twelve acres producing eight tons of nuts this ycaT, and sell- 111 IT ML 2111 jlVClAXC Ul OUUUL iiW - i , . . . j, , j . , j . ; j j . . : And the largest number of new plantings in the renewed nood chierg mU8t forced to obey the decision of the Railway Labor impetus that is being given the industry now are to De maae Board. In Marion, Folk and Yamhill counties And the great bulk of the acreage in Oregon is already in these counties, in the Salem marketing district. . The grading and sorting and sacking is to be done in Salem. And Salem is the true Walnut City For the trees along the curbs and on the city lots within the city limits would make up a solid planting of 60 acres, the proper distances apart on a single tract ' Much more if all the Eastern and California black wal nuts were included, as they ought to be grafted over and in cluded; in fact, are being rapidly grafted over. No other city in this section has any near approach to the number of walnut trees. It was estimated, two years ago, by County Fruit In spector S. II. Van Trump, that Marion county had 1D00 acres in walnut trees; to say nothing of the small plantings in city CTOPKUni nPRQ QPflRPn : times as much as it would to pay niiVln(,a on1 omnni? enhiirhnn unit farm roniHoncoa Wnlnnt ; lit.

"Since March 1, 1921, when the refund pro- vision of the tax laws first be came effective, warrants have b?en issued in the total sum of $13,000, representing rebates pay able on account of motor vehicle fuel having been purchased and used for the of-ration of farm tractors, motor boats, for clean ing clothing, and for other com mercial purposes. The law pro vides that taxes paid on motor vehicle fuels by the oil distribu tors shall be refunded to the in dividual purchaser upon presen tation to the secretary of state of an affidavit showing the fact that such fuels were purchased and used Tor purposes other than in the operation of motor vehicles upon lie public highways. Claims for refunds must, however, be filed Within 90 days from the date of purchase, and the original in j voices must be attached in all cases, 'i he secretary or state has a supply of the regular forms for filing refund claims available for distribution upon request. fW 1 X. ! : ; j,' Vffic : -1 1 N: !

It would keep all the detail off the books. "Bookkeeping of railroads is complicated far beyond all neces ! sity. We have simplified this de partment, reduced its cost and have transformed it into an actual help instead of a vexation and a burden. How did we do it? By viewing the proposition as a serv ice to the users of railroads and making everything fit into that, instead of having the fear or stock holders and dividends before our eyes. Our faith in that service will pay. Finance does not come first. Work comes first. "We don't claim to have any thing new in railroading yet.

OBERT, Neb.. Oct. 25. The Obert State bank was closed here today by P. L. Zuelo, Nebraska state bank examiner. The loss, it Is estimated, will amount to from $60,000 to $70,000.

It would be said that people had bought tlmse stocks for the financial protection of j their families, their children. Protection from what? From the necessity of earning their living. Their children would be no better off if they had to finance them selves. Proper financing would, of course, be easier on new roads. On the old ones, however, it should be possible to retire the parasite, the non-contributing stockholder, and get the ownership iuto proper hands. Reduce Rolling Stock ''After removing this dividend drain, the second step would be to remove the great physical bur- rden of the railroads needless weight of its rolling stock. A freight train is several times the we'ght of the load it carries and a passenger train is 2Ti times as heavy. The cost of pulling empty trains is needlessly large. f'On the Detroit.
